mbarton2010 Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 i just logged in to that site for the first time in a long while do you just push those into the substrate? yeah, like root tabs. they are supposedly really good Link to comment
Squared Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 interesting. the substrate isn't enough? do you take them out of the capsules? Link to comment
mbarton2010 Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 interesting. the substrate isn't enough? do you take them out of the capsules? oh, the substrate i have top of the line. the "pills" are just fertilizers to make the plants grow even lusher. the capsules are vegetable based gelatin. they dissolve slowly and help control the release of the ferts Link to comment

.Newman. Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 you used a cycling agent? what fish did you get so far? Link to comment
mbarton2010 Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 you used a cycling agent? what fish did you get so far? i used a cycling agent and some mulm from my parents tank. i got some glowlight tetras and 2 otos. well actually 3 because i got a few stems of elodea and an extra was in them lol Link to comment
.Newman. Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 float the elodea, its pretty useless as a scape plant in a shallow tank like that. however if floated it can be a good nutrient absorber. Link to comment
.Newman. Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 do you have algae in the tank for those otos? Link to comment
mbarton2010 Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 do you have algae in the tank for those otos? there is some on the wood. and i have algae wafers Link to comment
